My Master Disconnected Yet Again

Panda Novel

Mi Le took two whole hours to do his makeup. Midway through, Shen Ying gave him another meeting. He quickly used his own assistant’s powers to heal the wounds on his face. He kept complaining the entire time that this was not good for the skin. He was complaining so much that even Lonemoon began itching to give him a beating. It could be said that the gentlemanly facade was completely gone and he was now at ease with being himself. To put it nicely, he was now a full high-class boy. Suddenly, they wanted to light a candle for the manager of his plane!

“He doesn’t have a manager,” Shen Ying said casually.

“What?” Lonemoon and Yi Qing stared blankly at her. How could there be an assistant without a manager?

Just as the two of them started to ask, Shen Ying stepped forward and kicked the person on the ground. “How exactly did you tell my older sister?”

“How else could I tell her?” Mi Le guarded his face like it was the most precious part of his body. Then, he continued, “I told her honestly about what you said about that Big Dao Organization the last time, that’s all.”

“You told my older sister about that!” Shen Ying clenched her fists by her side.

“No, no!” He quickly added. Taking one step back, he said, “Since when did I say I talked about you! I only said I chanced upon it. She asked around and said that there was no monitor there. But she did not tell me much about what a physical monitor looked like.”

Shen Ying frowned and scanned Mi Le from head to toe. Mi Le trembled, then took another step backward, with his hands still guarding his face.

“Stop hitting me!” He quickly exclaimed. “You know what your sister is like. If she doesn’t want to tell me something, it wouldn’t matter how much I ask her. I’ve tried my best. You can’t blame me for going back on my word.”

Going back on his word?

Lonemoon paused and turned to Chef. They both exchanged a meaningful glance. Did Shen Ying go all the way to the Void Land to find the spirit seed just so that Mi Le could go back to Shen Jing and find out more about monitors? How afraid of her own older sister was she?

“What would I want you for?” Shen Ying rolled her eyes.

“I’ve always been this useless!” Mi Le responded, looking at her as if to ask if this was the first day she had known him. He did not seem at all ashamed about his inabilities. In fact, he seemed proud of them. Mm, I want to hit him even more at this point. “Alright, alright. Matters have already turned out this way. If it helps, I can just send several boxes of makeup to you in the future, Little Ying. How’s that?”

“Get out!” You freaking sissy.

“Alright, I’m getting out now then.” Mi Le opened the plane gates, fully aware of what he needed to do next. After pausing for a moment, he walked toward Lonemoon. “I’ll bring your spirit seed with me!”

He made a move for the little boy who was the spirit seed, but the little boy avoided his hand and hid behind Lonemoon once again. The boy looked up at Mi Le with caution, then turned to Lonemoon and whined, “Father, I don’t want to go with him!”

Lonemoon sighed, squatted down and touched the little boy’s head. “Be good, listen to me. You belong to his world. Go back with him.”

“No!” Perhaps because Mi Le was only an assistant and not a manager, the little boy wanted nothing to do with him. What’s more, he seemed to have been terribly frightened. He had thrown aside the pot containing the garlic demon and hidden behind Lonemoon just to avoid Mi Le’s touch. Now, he ran toward Shen Ying and clung on to her leg. The little boy began to wail. “Wah ah… I don’t want to go! Don’t give me away!”

“…” Was he trying to stick with them?

“Why have you become so disobedient after manifesting?” Mi Le sighed. He turned and walked toward the spirit seed. “Now you’re making me look like a kidnapper.”

“Mother… Mother…” The spirit seed was crying even harder by now as he tugged on Shen Ying’s sleeve.

“Mother? Father?” Mi Le’s eyes widened and darted between Shen Ying and Lonemoon in shock. Then, he narrowed his eyes. It was a long while later before he spoke. “Oh~ No wonder you don’t dare to approach Older Sister Jing. So-”

Lonemoon and Yi Qing’s expressions darkened at once. “You can get out now!” Stop jumping to conclusions.

“Alright, alright, alright.” He was looking at them with more suspicion now. He nudged Lonemoon and asked, “I’m just going to ask – is your third leg any good?”

Lonemoon: “…”

Shen Ying: “…”

Chef drew his sword. Indeed, it would be far better to kill this man!

“I’m off.” Seeing that Yi Qing was about to explode with anger, Mi Le immediately turned around and reached out for the little boy, prepared to leave.

“Wait!” Shen Ying suddenly stretched her hand out to stop them.

“What’s the matter?” Mi Le paused. As if thinking of something, he grinned. “Can you not bear to see this handsome man leave?”

Shen Ying’s expression darkened. “You can leave, but he cannot!”

“Why not?” Mi Le stared blankly at Shen Ying. “You’re regretting this, aren’t you? Hey, hey, hey, Little Ying, you cannot do this! Even if you’re jealous of my good looks, you cannot take this spirit seed away. You cannot joke about these matters.”

“Who says I’m joking!” Shen Ying narrowed her eyes and looked down at the boy who was still clinging on to her robes and wailing. “We’ve already talked about this before. If you find out about monitors for me, I would help you locate the spirit seed. You didn’t keep your part of the bargain, so this deal has fallen through.”

“Little Ying…” Mi Le frowned and said in a strict tone, “You knew that the spirit seed is important to my plane. Now he’s already manifested. Huge changes will take place if he remains in this plane. He absolutely cannot remain here.”

“What if I keep him here no matter what?”

“Little Ying!” Mi Le was getting anxious now. “His sentience is almost mature. He’s only sticking to the both of you because you are managers. You cannot let your emotions get the better of you.”

“Oh.” She reached out and stroked the little boy’s head. “But I’m not a manager.”

“Huh?” He stared blankly at her. Something flickered across his face, but he recovered in a flash and frowned. “What did you say? Older Sister Jing already told us that you accepted this plane. How can you not be a manager? In any case, he cannot stay here. He must leave with me!”

Shen Ying lowered her gaze. “What if I refuse to give him over to you?”

“Little Ying, stop your nonsense!” Mi Le was beginning to look angry. As if recalling something a moment later, he raised his voice and threatened, “If you insist on doing this, then I… I’ll have no choice but to tell Older Sister Jing about this. Don’t blame me for that.”

Shen Ying’s expression darkened. She glared at Mi Le and did not say anything else for a long while.

Mi Le’s grin widened. He was satisfied with himself. “Alright, Little Ying. Let’s stop this. Take the spirit-”

“So this has something to do with my older sister as well!” Shen Ying suddenly exclaimed.

“Huh?” Mi Le looked at her, confused.

“You didn’t even ask my older sister about monitors.” Shen Ying’s expression darkened as she looked him dead in the eye. “No! I should say that right from the beginning, you wanted nothing to do with my older sister. The only reason for this could be that this thing about monitors is related to me.”

Mi Le remained confused and said nothing.

“The spirit seed is not yours indeed. You’re not doing this for his own good either.” Shen Ying pushed the little child over to the two men behind her. Stepping forward, she said, “Mi Le, you’ve bluffed me into the Void Land. What exactly did you want to do?”

“…”

Mi Le stood rooted to the ground. The grin on his face was completely gone by now. A moment later, he sighed, looking defeated. “Little Ying… How can you test me like that?” Indeed, it was difficult to trick the school bully. “Actually, I-”

“Say no more!” Shen Ying raised her hand to stop him from speaking. “Whatever you say can’t be trusted, anyway. I’ll ask myself.”

The moment she finished speaking, she activated the communication button on her wristband.

Eh?!
